Howie Kendrick is tormenting his former team with his second home run of the series, this one, off of Angels starter Cory Rasmus, putting the Dodgers up 2-0 in the bottom of the third.

Kendrick's ninth home run of the year brought home shortstop Jimmy Rollins, giving Kendrick 45 RBIs on the year. He has the fourth-most home runs among National League second baseman, two behind the leader, St. Louis' Kolten Wong.

Kendrick enjoyed hitting in Dodger Stadium even before he dawned the Dodger blue. He is now hitting .327 and slugging .496 with eight home runs in the ballpark.

This is Rasmus' first start of the year, but he's struggled with the home run ball in the past. In his rookie season in 2013, he was averaging 2.5 home runs per nine inning. However, he got that number down to 0.8 in 2014.

With the untouchable Clayton Kershaw out of the game, Kenley Jansen entered the ninth with the highest home run rate of any closer in the majors (1.8 per nine innings). Jansen then had to face the MLB's top two home run hitters with the tying run at the plate and one out.

But the skies closed up, and the Angels walked away empty-handed.

Mike Trout, who homered against Jansen Friday night, struck out. Albert Pujols singled (first video), which only brought the score to 3-1 Dodgers. Jansen then got shortstop Erick Aybar to pop out to second (second video) for the final out of the game, notching his 19th save of the season.

The Dodgers have now one five-straight against the Angels going back to last season. They will look to complete the series sweep Sunday.

Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal hit a two-run home run to center field off of Angels reliever Fernando Salas to put the Dodgers up 3-0 in the sixth inning.

Grandal now has 15 home runs on the season, tying his career high, hit last year in San Diego. Grandal passes San Francisco's Buster Posey to lead National League catchers in long balls.

This was the second home run Salas has allowed in as many games. In his last outing Thursday against Houston, Salas inherited one runner with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. He allowed a single to Marwin Gonzalez and then gave up a three-run, walkoff home run to Jason Castro.

Adrian Gonzalez's run belonged to starter Andrew Heaney, who put him on.

Clayton Kershaw turned a sacrifice for the Angels into a double play for the Dodgers.

Angels starting pitcher Andrew Heaney popped up his would-be-sacrifice bunt. Kershaw caught the ball in the air and then threw to second baseman Howie Kendrick covering first to double off Taylor Featherston at first.

Heaney is 1-for-12 at the plate in his young career. In his only other start in a National League park this year, July 7 in Colorado, Heaney went 0-for-3 in four plate appearances with two strikeouts and one successful sacrifice.
